I understand that the Nissan Shop Manual and Parts Manual are both available for download at 311s.org. You need to look at the 1600 head section, which shows the configuration and location of the li
In the early '70s, my young daughter rode on the parcel shelf of my '66 1600. No seat belt, etc. We were lucky we were never in an accident or incident. My, how times have changed. Gary Ault The gril
Did it actually sell? Or fail to achieve a reserve? Looks like the same ad by the same person -- just without the incriminating trunk photo. I'm not sure whether the seller knows the car has been rep
The original cork gasket I have for a 1600 is more like 3/16-inches thick. You shouldn't need much torque to seal this baby. I understand the U20 cam cover is easier to crack, and all I do with that
"Rechroming" is a three-step process (after the original finish is stripped): 1. A copper plating, to fill imperfections. (May require multiple applications with buffing in between.) 2. A nickel pla
There are at least five of us who are planning to drive from San Diego/Vista up to Solvang on Friday. Paul Gabriel of El Cajon is the ring leader, I believe. Three of us are from Indiana. I bought a
There's no question that the later body style did not exist, even in prototype form, in 1961. I'd want a REAL close personal look at this car before spending any money on it. Gary Ault ______________
Sounds like a seller to stay away from. Too bad we can't warn prospective buyers who are not on the List. Gary ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htm
I'm with you. Let's discredit this guy, and run him off the list. Gary ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Datsun-roadsters mailing list http://
Send the carbs to Z-Therapy. Worth every penny. Then assess whether you have other problems. 145 psi isn't great, but compression values depend so much on the gauge and other factors that I would he
My understanding is consistent with John's: Keep the rockers withthe cam, lobe for lobe, and you'll be OK. I certainly hope so, because I put a used "B" cam into my car with the same rockers it was
What's appropriate? I think that when you try to line everything up with the wiper linkage, you'll figure it out. There wil be just one position which makes sense. (That's what I remember, but I'm o
If the rubber mounts/oval inserts on your wiper motor bracket are undisturbed, there should be impressions on the bolt-head side where flat washers were located. If undisturbed, just put it back tog
I'll put this out there and let the rest of the list take shots at it. I've never seen written direction on re-assembly of the front hubs that I can recall. What I have done is to tighten the spindl
Actually a '67-1/2. Sold for something north of $7,000. Probably worth that, but the paint job was clearly second-rate. (Overspray on everything.) And those pimp whitewalls -- never saw those on a re
Is that "6inliner" we're talking about? Not a real literate guy, is he? ________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Datsun-roadsters mailing list http://
This message is intended primarily for those who have never attended Solvang, or any other large Datsun roadster gathering. But I hope those on the List who contributed to this year's great weekend,
I make it a 5-speed, from the style of the middle of the case. But, you're right, the seller didn't know. Anyone else have another opinion? Gary Ault I asked the seller if it was a four or five spee
Interesting. The ...@siemens.com is a business E-mail -- a legitimate Siemens address, unless there's a way to fake a corporate address. (I used to work for Siemens' KWU Group -- Unternehmensbereich
If you're referring to the two U-shaped trim pieces with little "ears" at the top of the "U", they cover the upper joints between the side (windshield) frame members and the top member. The little "
